The GREATEST or ALL.-Yous

Of Acme Hall, the popular clothing
house Of Baltimore, and many Of them
We presume have patronized it but
comparatively few have yet heard OF
Oehm' Acme Hall the monster new
building to which old Acme Hall has
given way.
Those who have visited Baltimore
and walked along the thoroughfares
will remember the hinge white build.

Charles formerly occupied by Hurst,
Purneli & Co, wholesale dry goods.
This is the building which shall hence
forth be known as Oehm's Acme Hall
the largest clothing aud furnishing
establishment in the State.
On Wednesday next. April eth, the
formal opening of this monster con-
Germ will take place. Think of the
dedication, so to speak, of a store
whose FIVE floors, if laid out side by
side, would cover an acre Of ground
Think of the mountains Of clothing.
the banks Of furnishing goods. all
fresh and new from the hands of the
manufacturers Think Of the exquis-
tie arrangement OF the interior of the
store which alone cost over 800, 900
to perfect. Imagine bowers of beau
tifnl plants shedding their sweet fra
GRANGE on the scene beautifed with
many-colored bunting displaying the
flags of all nations now-white pill
lars and gorgeous chandeliers draped
in rich tapestry and festooned with
choice flowers stair banisters and
elevators clothed in appropriate garb;
the spacious walls hung with paint
ings, pictures in tapestry and other
works OF art as rich as they are rare
the various departments caIpeted and
furnished in polished hardwoods the
tables, the shelves, the counters, the
show cases all reflected into space by
massive mirrors, while over all the
bright electric light bursts forth from
generous globes and imparts to the
scene brilliancy as fascinating as it
Is enhancing.
Imagine this and more, and you vet
fail to fully picture to your mind half
the pretty devices put forth to inter-
est and to please the myriads who will
participate in the opening festivities
OF Oehm's Acme Hall.
Opening OF the great store is the
talk of the town-peOple talk it, the
press lauds it. 1t is said among
other things, "Oehm's Acme Hall Is
TO be in fact what it is in name-the
Acme of the clothing trade"
The Nc1rS closes its reference in
these words: 1T will amply repay a
visit, and those who attend the OPEN
ing on next Wednesday will have rea-
son to remember Acme Hall long and
pleasantly.
The Herald concludes thus =
"Oehm's Acme Hall will be specially
welcomed by our country cousins. who
will find it pleasant and convenient
to make it their headquarters while
nj the city, due regard being had, in
the internal arrangements Of the great
establishment. for the comfort of la
dies and children"
For our own part We have only to
hope that the grand opening of We'd
nesday may be in every respect wor-
thy of the enterprise and energy OF
Oehm & Co., and to wish Oehm's Acme
Hall God speed, long life and success.

as follows: "In number OF States III
which the dairy interests are large,
the manufacture and sale Of butter
substitutes has been prohibited by To-
gislative action. In other States. laws
have been enacted 10 regulate their
sale and TO prevent fraud. An at

the manufacture and sale by taxation
sufficient to bring their cost nearly up
TO that of butter. In the law as act
ually passed. however, the tax was
very much reduced. so that while IL
may help toward preventing improper
sale of butter substitutes and, by
obliging sellers 20 pay high license
fees, may considerably interfere with
their general use. IL will not be as eff
fectiyc in excluding them from the
markets as was desired. This l. a
